Explanation:

Mass Media have potential education uses, the most threatening, is their uses as the medium of delivering instructions. Based instructions and traditional modes of knowledge presentation remain unspecified, mass media enriched instructions which have been matured during the past decade to here, and its instructional benefits can be tested and compared with components of traditional instructions (Nanda, 2005, p. 401).

However Computers are used as “teaching machine” assist with the acquisition

of basic factual or theoretical presentation of material or theory, computer instructions, permit practice, provides feedback, assign instructions based on response and increase interactivity (Panton, 1945, p .189-206). As observed, in the book Big Media-

Little Media, “Mass m edia can be made use of, in

education as supportive models in to two basic, but over lapping ways”. They can be made part

of environment in learning activities which are designed as seen in distance teaching instructions. Also they can be brought into the environment, as tools in the hands of teachers, by supplementing supportive information that is educationally important and useful (Shranim, 1996,  p. 55). In Tanzania Mass Media was traditionally meant to educate and inform people about various

events which tend to occur in the society. Tanzania‟s development in Mass media is traced back

as during the ancestral era. The ancestors used drams, fire on top of hills, weeping style, written signs and animal horns-blowing as ways of informing people about particular issues (Mahai, 2004:20). Currently modifications in mass media have made significant strides as said that, Tanzania is having 70 newspapers, 45 radio stations and 27 television stations. Indeed, these are mere statistics that do not point a picture of the quality being offered by impressive number of Media  produces. The function of mass media is to put across as many different perceptions, and concern as possible, both accurately and sometimes could be misleading information (Mahai, 2004:99). A well-recognized

psychologist ,argues that, “T

here is no way of limiting pupils from searching other unauthentic materials on the magazine to the extent of craving only on what teacher directs them in classrooms that mass media

knows no age”

(Lovell, 1987:189). It is now evident that as Tanzania strives to meet the millennium goals, there is more to be done in, to make sure that mass media are used in teaching secondary school students, but also observing limitations of the already existing technology. The way in which uneven distribution of sophisticated mass media viewed is such that only a few Tanzania pupils living in urban areas access Television services.

It is from this point that the National examination set to be written by all pupils‟ country wise,

irrespective of their degree or level of exposure to the mass media. Therefore, in this study the researcher intends to investigate on the role of mass media on academic performance of secondary school students
